Softboards for kiting?

[Sammy]

HI all,

I'm after my first strapless board and someone posted this on another forum:

Looks awesome for kiting and would fit in well with skimboarding and surfing. Just looks like a fun all round board.

My question is, how would the "hybrid surfboard technology" - e.g. soft board with a bit more durability etc stand up to rigors of kitesurfing on it. Obviously epoxy boards are better than fibreglass boards for pressure dents etc. how would this turn out?

Skimboards are hard to get hold of here and this company offered reasonable p&p charges to UK.

Cheers!
